Trials

So as many of you know, it has been a tough few weeks for me and I have been really struggling with keeping myself upbeat. It is sometimes so hard to go through trials, and I have really HATED this experience and just kept wishing that it would end. I kept telling myself that it couldn't get any worse and then low and behold it would! I would get a mean spirited email from a former student or co-worker that was written with the intent to do nothing but cause me hurt and pain. My gut instinct was to react in a not very Christ like way and to some extent I am still tempted to do just that. Through all this, my mom has been such a great support...actually my entire family has been. My husband has been my shoulder to cry on during countless nights of endless tears. Even my brothers have called and asked what their names were so that they could go and beat them up. :-)
My mom wrote a post on her blog that was so sweet and kind and through her post, others have posted comments that have helped me so much. One in particular really hit home for me, it was a comment by Heidi. If any of you reading this post has ever gone through a really tough trial and ever wondered why this was happening to you then I invite you to read it... maybe it will help you like it helped me. Here is her blog address, the post was entitled Choosing the Right. http://rbseely.blogspot.com
